LightPath Expands IR Team

LightPath Technologies Inc. has expanded its IR business team with the appointment of Glenn Breeze as worldwide infrared sales manager in the company's infrared optics department.

Breeze has more than 30 years of experience in sales, marketing and business development. Most recently, he was the director of sales and marketing for Ophir Optics, now part of Newport Corp. Breeze previously held executive-level business development and sales positions in IR optical components and lens assemblies for use in multiple-sensor camera systems for defense, security, reconnaissance and commercial applications.

“The addition of Glenn Breeze to our team strengthens our molded infrared optic business, which represents a significant component of our growth strategy,” said LightPath CEO Jim Gaynor. “Glenn’s impressive track record of delivering sales growth within our addressable markets, as well as his demand-creation and sales leadership experience, complement our existing strengths in product development and manufacturing. His experience and knowledge of the infrared market is a tremendous asset that we expect will enhance our prospects for future success.”

Breeze will be responsible for key commercial, government and military accounts, as well as the growth of LightPath’s existing direct sales and indirect distribution network. In addition, he will also direct strategic planning, business development and sales management activities for the company’s expanding line of IR lenses.
